120253Sjoerg
220253Sjoergpw is a command-line driven passwd/group editor utility that provides
320253Sjoergan easy and safe means of modifying of any/all fields in the system
420253Sjoergpassword files, and has an add, modify and delete mode for user and
520253Sjoerggroup records. Command line options have been fashioned to be similar
620253Sjoergto those used by the Sun/shadow commands: useradd, usermod, userdel,
720253Sjoerggroupadd, groupmod, groupdel, but combines all operations within the
820253Sjoergsingle command `pw'.
920253Sjoerg
1020253SjoergUser add mode also provides a means of easily setting system useradd
1120253Sjoergdefaults (see pw.conf.5), so that adding a user is as easy as issuing
1220253Sjoergthe command "pw useradd <loginid>". Creation of a unique primary
1320253Sjoerggroup for each user and automatic memberhip in secondary groups
1420253Sjoergis fully supported.
1520253Sjoerg
1620253SjoergThis program may be FreBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to
1720253Sjoergother bsd4.4 variants.
